Spinach Poha / Poha With Spinach / Aval Upma with Palak

Poha / Aval Upma is our favorite breakfast. Like me my kids also love Poha Upma, so i make this quick and easy to make upma often for our breakfast or for evening snack. I have very little quantity of spinach sitting in the fridge after using some for ragi keerai pakoda. I don't know what to do with the very small quantity, Suddenly a thought came why not to add it in my simple poha upma and thus this Spinach Poha born and we all loved it. It turned out to a healthy and yummy breakfast. I served spinach poha along withcoconut chuntey. So next time when you make poha upma try adding spinach or any available greens. Definitely kids will love to have them for a filling and healthy breakfast. Now to the recipe...

Then add the drained poha,turmeric powder, enough salt and mix everything well and lastly squeeze some lemon juice and mix well.

Healthy and yummy spinach poha upma is ready to serve.

Notes:
You can also use dry red chilli instead of green chillies.
if you want very soft poha then after washing soak it with enough water for 2 minutes and then drain and use it in the recipe.
Chop carrots finely so that it gets cooked but bit crunchy, no need to steam cook or microwave carrots. just stir frying is enough.

Delicious-- I used ghee and mustard oil to sauté- Great mix of warm and dry flavours- bit of crunch in the channa daal- Over here in Scotland- thanks to good Asian shops- this was a treat -Keith Mitchell- Dunfermline- Fife
